To shoot an elephant

Alberto Arce - Mohammad Rujailah 2009 docu 112 min.

Israel declared the besieged Gaza Strip an "enemy entity" in 2007. In the
winter of 2008/9, it launched a massive military offensive against this
"entity" - operation "Cast Lead". Despite a ban on foreign correspondents
and humanitarian aid workers entering Gaza during this offensive, members
of the International Solidarity Movement had managed to enter and were
present in Gaza as the bombing began on December, 27th 2008. Together with
two correspondents from Al Jazeera International (Ayman Mohyeldin and
Sherine Tadros), these activists stayed in Gaza throughout the offensive,
gaining access to hospitals, ambulances and homes to produce this harrowing
firsthand account of the war.
